Nice ride, how much are these? I spotted one last october in Phoenix at a lakers game:drool: :drool: There is one here in Lethbridge too.

They are $160k+, depends on the options. I believe all the Calgarian ones are loaded.

There is at least 1 more blue one, i saw it down at the Glencoe golf course last i was there.

Saw one in Edmonton a couple of weeks as well. Looks awesome, I wouldn't mind one to be honest.

First year ones are all loaded. You have the choice of buying a loaded one, or wait.

Fuuuuuu I love that car. What's the selling price on them?

But you will never get one out the door for less than $160k. First models way more as i think laser lights are like a 12k option on their own.

Need to go to Van or Toronto to pick one up?

[shakalaka]

With AWD, it'll be a great winter car too! :D

[rage2]

Other than the looks, what's the huge appeal on the i8? Genuinely curious.

The only thing that comes to mind for me is exclusivity.

Saw one today leaving Bearspaw then heading down Stoney. Sweet looking for sure.

I was beside one on deerfoot and up close it was kinda cool because of the lines but i have to agree its not the best looking car.

Exactly. Cool car. Not good looking. Pretty mediocre performance for its cost as well.

[shakalaka]

I think it looks super sweet. Ever since I saw it in Mission Impossible, it's very futuristic looking to me. I wouldn't mind one but at that price range, the competition is tough.

It’s a super cool car. Having said that, for that money, there’s no chance I’d buy one. Like not even a bit.

When I was in San Francisco, i8's and Teslas were like Civics :rofl:

I was there in July, and noticed the same thing. Well, Telsas anyhow. I think I've seen more i8's in Calgary haha
